New and unique formula that reduces respirable airborne dust when sanded
USG Boral Sheetrock Dust Control Finishing Joint Compound Dust Control reduces respirable airborne dust, creates less mess by forming clumps and falling to the ground during sanding. Jobs can be completed more quickly; less preparation time is needed to screen off areas and less time is needed for clean-up afterwards, perfect for the renovation jobs to reduce the impact to the client.
As tested to NIOSH Method 0600, SHEETROCK® Dust Control produced respirable airborne dust at levels lower than current OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits, which are in turn lower than the PELs set by Safe Work Australia.
- Cleaner work site
- Less time on the job
- Weighs up to 25% less than our conventional joint compounds
- Less shrinkage
